The Reasoning

Remember all those thoughts that made you feel alive
Remember space and time
Did I leave you where you wanted to be left?
Did I say the right lines?
You believed everything your hands could reach
Touching through the lies
I told you all that I knew how to tell
But, did I say the right lines?
And here you fall a different shade of shock
Find me inside you
Swallow down all that tastes like me
I feel you turning blue
I promise, I promise, I promise to tell the truth
I promise, I promise, I promise to hurt them too

Think now on those moments you felt life was over
Think now on your pain
Recall with certainty all the regrets of living
Would it all be the same?
Do those thoughts weigh more than the sunlight?
Is everyone else to blame
If answers were here, answers easy
Find doubts that you could tame
I'll tell you secrets, ways to manage
Will I say the right lines?
To corner you and hit you with facts
But, will I say the right lines?
I promise, I promise, I promise to tell the truth
I promise, I promise, I promise to hurt them too
